Azure VM configuration with 2 public static IP

  • 772

I have broken my head, trying to fulfill following configuration: 2 Azure VMs behind load balancer, with static public IP assigned to load balancer + one of those VMs shall have it's own static public IP.

I was trying to fulfill this both with portal and Azure Resource Manager temaplates - but it is not working. When in portal I try to assign instance IP address - it is not static, and will change each time VM is shutdown.

When in Azure Resource Manager I try to provision a VM via template in which 3 NICs are created for 2 VMs - I could not attach 3rd NIC to one of VMs with a mystical error, which I could not track in logs :(

I am compeletely lost in this subject :(

    You can't reserve the PIP (Instance Level IP) address, only the VIP (Public Virtual IP). You also can only have 1 reserved VIP per cloud service no matter how many NICs you have. To reserve a VIP you can either use Powershell or the Preview Portal that way they won't change next time you restart or shutdown.

    Update:

    You can now have multiple VIPs per cloud service (Only VMs, not available for roles)
